3.3 IT security on the southbound side
The FDE Gateway provides field data in IT environments.
Ensure that the outputs of the device are not used to control automation processes, but
solely for signaling purposes.
Make sure to protect the southbound connection in accordance with currently recognized
security guidelines. This prevents spying on the field data. More information and application

Personal data

During the configuration of the FDE gateway, it is possible to store user-specific data such as
certificates, usernames, and access passwords. These data are stored on the device and, if
appropriate, used service-specifically during operation. The device must be reset to the
factory settings to erase these data. See section: Resetting to factory settings (Page 62).
